Facial Thread Lift in Dubai

Thread Face Lift in Dubai

Until a few years back, the only way to address most issues brought about by facial skin laxity — such as drooping cheeks and jowls — was through facelift surgery. Although some skin resurfacing treatments could help restore some degree of firmness on the body, the only way to truly give a much better appearance was to undergo the scalpel, especially if any loose skin is present. 

However, while facelift surgery is known to offer results, it is not made for everyone. Moreover, not all people would want to undergo surgery for a cosmetic purpose, let alone splash more money towards making themselves appear better. 

Fortunately, there is a less invasive way to achieve a better, youthful appearance without going through surgery — the thread face lift. 

What is a thread face lift?

A thread face lift is a procedure that uses a dissolvable suture to tighten and lift your skin. This is a less invasive procedure than a surgical facelift and can be done within 45 minutes. 

Polydioxanone (PDO) thread lifts make use of biodegradable polyester sutures. They are known to rejuvenate your skin and improve your appearance by lifting sagging skin. They do so by triggering fibroblasts — cells in your body — to produce more collagen. 

This protein naturally found in your body gives your skin its structure and elasticity. Aging is associated with loss of collagen, which makes the skin appear as it does as you grow older. 

Potential areas of thread face lift treatment

A thread lift is used to treat most parts of your face that have visible signs of aging. In most cases, areas around your neck, cheeks, jaw, and eyes are the most commonly treated areas of a thread face lift in Dubai. 

Younger people tend to enjoy the results of their thread lift much longer than older patients. In most cases, older people might only enjoy the results for 1 to 2 years as their skins tend to lose elasticity at a much faster rate than younger ones, who might go up to 4 years with their results still visible.

Thread face lift procedure in Dubai

Your surgeon will ask you to avoid alcohol or tobacco smoking at least a week before the procedure. You’ll also be asked to stay away from certain drugs that may increase the risk of bleeding or bruising, such as Aspirin.

The exact procedure your surgeon follows during your thread face lift varies, and it will mostly depend on what you want to achieve. Ideally, local anesthesia is used before the surgeon makes a tiny incision, where a small tube called a cannula is inserted. 

Afterward, the surgeon anchors the threads in place before pulling out the cannula. Once they have ensured that the thread is in place, it is cut, and that’s it!

You will be free to go home shortly after the procedure. 

Thread face lift recovery.

There’s a very short recovery period for a thread face lift. Ideally, you may experience localized bruising and swelling for the first 24 – 48 hours. However, you will be free to carry out most of your daily routines. 

You will be given some aftercare instructions to enable you to experience a smooth recovery process. This includes, among others, not rubbing your face to avoid dislodging the threads. Moreover, you’ll also likely be advised not to smoke, drink alcohol, or purse your lips.

A thread face lift is an effective method of alleviating aging signs from your body, especially on your face. Although this is not an invasive cosmetic procedure, you’ll still need to get the best in the game to attend to your needs.

Thread Face Lift in Dubai: FAQs

A thread lift is a medical procedure that seeks to counter the signs of aging on the lower face. Your doctor uses the subcutaneous placement of PDO threads that are pulled to give the skin a ‘lift’. This procedure is especially helpful for jowl, midface, and neck-lifting. Plastic surgeons in Dubai sometimes use a thread lift for sagging eyebrows and cheeks.

Thread lift is essential when tackling mild to moderate sagging in the jawline, midface, cheeks, neck, and eyebrows.

Dr. Tarek will first apply a topical numbing and local anesthetic to the treatment site before treatment starts. A fine needle will be used during the procedure, and you won’t even experience any pain whatsoever. 

PDO threads are thereafter inserted through a blunt tip needle, also known as a cannula. The surgeon may also use sharp-tipped needles throughout the procedure. Once these threads are inserted inside the appropriate layer of skin, they act as anchors, making the skin appear lifted. Any excess threads are cut off.

Getting a thread lift in Dubai is beneficial as it is a perfect non-surgical alternative to a facelift. It yields excellent results and you do not have to undergo any invasive procedures. Moreover, no general anesthesia is required. 

There’s also no scarring experienced, meaning it offers a quicker recovery time. Besides, it is also quite affordable compared to other procedures that yield similar results. 

A PDO thread lift is usually performed under local anesthesia. This means that you are fully awake and aware of your surroundings during the procedure. The whole process takes about an hour, after which you will be free to head back to your normal daily activities. 

Some patients can easily get back to their work, but all this depends on an individual’s reaction to the treatment and how many filaments have been used on them.

PDO threads from Dr. Tarek Aesthetics are known to last for a long time. In most cases, patients can go 6 to 9 months before they have their threads dissolved. However, how long they last generally depends on a number of factors, including the thickness and quality of threads used, and your body’s rate of metabolism.

Results from a thread lift can last for several years. The exact period depends on various factors like the patient’s age and the degree of their skin laxity, which can impact the longevity of thread lift results.

PDO thread lifts are generally considered safe and are FDA approved. They are much more preferred compared to other surgical alternatives. Moreover, there have been hundreds of thousands of procedures performed and there haven’t been reports of allergic reactions, sensitivity to the threads, or generally any serious side effects to the treatment. Furthermore, you also get to enjoy the benefits of an expedited recovery time.

A thread lift can be reversed. However, this isn’t usually recommended. You should first talk to your surgeon as they will recommend better ways to get the results that you desire.
